Onyomi/Kunyomi Errors

[rokon]

@Mericchan

In the vocabulary section, I know it’s いぬ. In the kanji section, where you’re normally expected to input the onyomi, wanikani wants the kunyomi and not the onyomi reading けん, which you aren’t taught in the lessons (at least for the first 3 levels; dunno if this kanji is revisited with the onyomi later). This bugs me.

I’ve had this happen a few times as well (鏡 gave me trouble with this just the other day). Its a little frustrating when you already know the onyomi but WK doesn’t teach it and thus only accepts the kunyomi as the kanji’s reading.

but kanji like that are few and far between, and no more than 1 in every other level (in my experience).

@Mericchan

I’ve input an onyomi before and it was looking for the kunyomi reading AND vice versa. The vocabulary section seems to want only kunyomi readings, but the kanji readings section is inconsistent.

If it helps, kunyomi is usually used if the vocab is made up of a stand-alone kanji or a single kanji followed by hiragana
Onyomi is usually used for vocab made up of multiple kanji, but there are loads of exceptions (and the mnemonics will mention that)

@ekg

It would be great to have a second chance since I usually think of the kunyomi first (since I already know the meaning of words as vocabulary.

you can download the ignore script to give yourself a second chance!
